Clonazepam is probably the most evil of all the benzodiazines. It is more addictive and the withdrawal is worse than any of the most powerful narcotics. If you have taken it for any length of time it will rebound on you, by causing increased anxiety. Most reputable psychiatrists refuse to prescribe any benzodiazepines any more. I have been dependent on numerous narcotics. It appears doctor find it easy to prescribe but don't have a clue on what you are going to experience when you withdraw. Now I am trying to withdraw from Clonazepam. I searched on youTube to find what other people experienced. I discovered very frightening experiences. I have been trying, under doctors help, to withdraw, .25 mg every 2 months. After really, really trying to make it work I started having body spasms, uncontrolled panic attacks, cognitive imparements, unable to eat or drink anything, kidney failure and many more. I am very frightened.
